Who traveled to the New World in 1604 and why?
Why did the King want them to go & whom did he assign to lead the voyage?
Using Champlain’s maps draw the route they took from France to St. Croix Island – remember to include the names of these areas and include the names given to them by both First Nations people and Champlain when you can.
Compare and contrast these two maps. How are they different? How are they similar? Why are they different? What information did Champlain use to create his maps?
